#### Understanding the MOVE/PH9_OFFSET Command for Imported DOS Measurement Routines

In the DOS version, the software rotated the PH9 to the new angles and then made an automatic move so that the tip would end up where it was prior to the angle change. However, in Windows-based versions of PC-DMIS, when rotating the PH9 to new angles, the software doesn't make this extra move. So, for translated and imported DOS measurement routines, PC-DMIS automatically inserts MOVE/PH9_OFFSET commands to facilitate the translation from the DOS version of PC-DMIS to the Windows version of PC-DMIS.

This command has this syntax and takes two inputs:

MOVE/PH9_OFFSET,INPUT1,INPUT2

INPUT1 is the old tip angle.

INPUT2 is the new tip angle.

You do not need to use this command in normal PC-DMIS measurement routines, and you can't select it from any of the menus.
